Abstract
A relaxation in the tropical sandpile model is a process of deforming a tropical hypersurface towards a finite collection of points. We show that, in the one-dimensional case, a relaxation terminates after a finite number of steps. We present experimental evidence suggesting that the number of such steps obeys a power law.
